Project description:Background: Intestinal metaplasia (IM) is a gastric precancerous lesion that precedes the development of gastric cancer in up to 3.77 cases/1000 person-years. It consists in a trans-differentiation process of gastric to intestinal tissue. Two histological subtypes exist, complete (CIM) and incomplete (IIM), the latter having higher progression rates to gastric cancer . Our objective was to identify molecular processes responsible for the tumoral transition from intestinal metaplasia to GC and the initial steps of this lesion Methods: We used expression microarray to compare the transcriptome of intestinal metaplasia subtypes that progress to gastric cancer (IIM-GC and CIM-GC) after a follow-up period with respect to those that do not progress (IIM control and CIM control). Also, IM-NoGC (IM control, comprising both IIM and CIM Control) was compared with healthy gastric mucosa. Differentially expressed genes were obtained and functional analyses (GSEA and IPA softwares) were performed. Some deregulated genes were validated by qPCR. Results: Histological subtypes of intestinal metaplasia that progress or not to GC differ less among them than to healthy mucosa. Incomplete intestinal metaplasia has a higher number of over-expressed carcinogenic genes and molecular processes than the complete subtype. Most relevant molecular processes and genes in this group include antigenic processing, inflammation, activation of cell cycle and cell proliferation, oncogenes and tumor suppressors. When IM-NoGC is compared with healthy gastric mucosa new identified transcripts include TRIM, TMEM, homeobox, transporters and nucleolar RNAs SNORDs116. We confirm previously reported processes such us intestinal differentiation, metabolism of lipids and of xenobiotics and identify new ones such as non tumoral Warburg effect and melatonin degradation. Conclusions: Differentially expressed genes and molecular processes have been identified for the first time in intestinal metaplasia that progress to gastric cancer. New genes and molecular processes have also been identified in intestinal metaplasia in comparison with healthy gastric mucosa.

Project description:Reflux of bile acids and subsequent caudal-related homeobox 2 (CDX2) activation contribute to gastric intestinal metaplasia (IM), which is a precursor of gastric cancer. However, the underlying mechanism by which bile acids cause this is not entirely clear. Here we demonstrated that alkylation repair homolog protein 5 (ALKBH5), which is a major RNA N6-adenosine demethylase, was required for bile acid-induced gastric IM. Mechanistically, we revealed the N6-methyladenosine (m6A) modification profile in gastric IM for the first time and identified ZNF333 as a bona fide m6A target of ALKBH5. ALKBH5 was shown to demethylate ZNF333 mRNA, leading to enhanced ZNF333 expression by abolishing m6A-YTHDF2-dependent mRNA degradation. In addition, ALKBH5 activated CDX2 and downstream intestinal markers by targeting the ZNF333/CYLD axis and activating NF-κB signaling. Reciprocally, p65, which is the key transcription factor of the canonical NF-κB pathway, enhanced the transcription activity of ALKBH5 in the nucleus, thus forming a positive feed-forward circuit. In addition, ALKBH5 levels were positively correlated with ZNF333 and CDX2 in IM tissues, indicating a significant clinical relevance. Collectively, our findings suggest an m6A modification-associated positive feed-forward loop between ALKBH5 and NF-κB signaling is involved in the generation of the IM phenotype from gastric epithelial cells. Targeting the ALKBH5/ZNF333/CYLD/CDX2 axis might be a useful therapeutic strategy for gastric IM in patients with bile regurgitation.

Project description:Intestinal metaplasia (IM), precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma (PLGC) induced by factors like nitrite, Helicobacter pylori, or bile acid, carries a high risk of progressing to gastric cancer. IM is categorized into complete intestinal metaplasia (CIM) and incomplete intestinal metaplasia (IIM). Patients with IIM are at a higher risk of developing gastric cancer, emphasizing its importance for early screening. Besides the diagnostic challenges, the mechanisms underlying its progression remain a mystery. OLFM4, a gene associated with stemness characteristics, has been linked to promoting gastric and colorectal cancers. Our investigation used pathological sections from two clinical centers, biopsies of IM tissues, PLGC cell models, animal models, and organoids to explore OLFM4's role in IIM. OLFM4 expression was observed highly in IIM, with superior diagnostic accuracy of IIM compared to CDX2 and MUC2 for the first time. OLFM4, along with MYH9, was highly expressed in IM organoids and PLGC animal models. OLFM4, in combination with MYH9, accelerated the ubiquitination of GSK3β and resulted in increased β-catenin levels through the Wnt signaling pathway, finally promoting the proliferation and invasion abilities of PLGC cells. In conclusion, OLFM4 serves as a novel biomarker for IIM and is utilized as an important auxiliary means to delimit the key population for early gastric cancer screening. This study provides new insights into the mechanisms of progression and a new target of therapy in intestinal metaplasia.

Project description:YAP is a transcriptional co-activator of the hippo signaling pathway and is known for its oncogenic and regenerative activity across numerous tissue types. In particular, high YAP levels in patients with gastric cancer (GC) confer a lower survival rate and poor prognosis for these individuals. Therefore, there is a great need to develop targeted therapies against these aggressive tumors. However, the role of YAP and its underlying molecular mechanisms during gastric tumorigenesis are still poorly understood. Using genetic models, we demonstrate the oncogenic function of YAP in CLU+ gastric cells in vivo. YAP over-expression in CLU+ cells induced atrophy, metaplasia and hyperproliferation in the gastric corpus, while its deletion in a Notch activated gastric tumor model rescued metaplasia. Furthermore, we defined the YAP1 targetome in YAP activated gastric tumors, and showed that YAP1 binds to the active chromatin elements of spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM) related genes and activates their expressions in gastric tumors and ulcers. Together, these results reveal YAP1 as a critical regulator of metaplasia in the gastric corpus, and highlights YAP signaling as a possible therapeutic target to inhibit the progression of gastric tumors.

Project description:Purpose: The goals of this study are to examine whether TTP can protect the stomach from adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced gastric inflammation and spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Methods: we utilized the TTP∆ARE mouse model to examine whether TTP overexpression can protect the stomach from adrenalectomy (ADX)-induced gastric inflammation and spasmolytic polypeptide-expressing metaplasia (SPEM). Results: We found that TTP∆ARE mice were completely protected from ADX-induce gastric inflammation and SPEM. RNA sequencing revealed that TTP overexpression suppressed the expression of genes associated with the innate immune response. Finally, we show that protection from gastric inflammation was only partially due to suppression of Tnf, a well-known TTP target. Conclusions: Our results demonstrate that TTP exerts broad anti-inflammatory effects in the stomach, and suggest that therapies that increase TTP expression may be effective treatments of pro-neoplastic gastric inflammation.
